It's probably the least surprising move of the year.

Chatbot wont help, there is not good films. Makne new House of Cards. Mike...Witcher like GoT!

    And the learning it will gain thru people's questions will serve other users as well.

      IMHO, these chatbots should be in voice-only mode. Otherwise, if I were to type questions, why would I type it there instead of google or chatgpt? Just my two cents.

        Wonder what i get if i ask him for a movie with Alexis Crystal, Ariel PiperFawn, Jewelz Blue, Alexis Texas etc.

          AI! AI! AI! AI! AI!

          Netflix shout "AI!", line go up!

          Checkbox accomplished!
          Now gib me mah moneh!
          Show me da moneh!
          SHOW ME DA MONEH!



          With that said, AI ain't gonna matter nor make a difference since the shows that the consumer wants, gets pulled out.
          While the shows that consumers are "iffy" or "out right do not want to watch (because let's be real, it's a slop)" is being shoehorned.

          The cherry on top is never ending price increase, and to add salt on wound, adding ads on tiers where there were no ads before.

          Eventually, ads on every tier.

          (Just because it's not there does not mean they aren't thinking about it.
          They loath for it. They drool for it.
          Since they can change the TOS anytime they want.
          By they, I mean streaming platforms).

            They could have tags without knowing the numbers of those tags.

              Tell me your lazy without telling me your lazy.

                "more responsive to your moods and interests in the moment"
                It means it is listening. Like how Facebook and co. recommend you things you talked about in person about someone (despite denying permission for microphone) but not if others talked and you haven't said a word.
                It's listening and if it recognizes behavioral patterns it will recommend on it.

                  Anonymous, 08 May 2025The thing is simple, netflix is the processed sugar for the... moreP.S. : Netflix were so cynical to dare to talk about subscription prices. That made me sick. The last episode of their totally unrelated series(Black Mirror) was the worst, most junkish.

                  They want to hyjack your brain but forget that that brain most produce money and if you produce money as in S07E01, the society will colapse pretty fast, which it already does. --rent seeking, land sharks, everything implying interest is destroying society.

                  In fact, the entire 'interest'(economic) idea must be challenged.
                  It's used to justify the depreciation of the value of money but that happens because of the fact that interests exist in the first place. It's simply astonishing.

                  So, the banking system is forcing everyone with this idea : "I can't eat my plate now but you're hungry so you can eat it but you should also give me somewhere in the future another plate." --because if you want to buy a home today you actually end paying at least for two.

                  So...Just avoid pathology, to start with your ecology of thought.

                    Anonymous, 08 May 2025The era of maximal lazyness and profitsTheir average rate of all they're selling is somewhere around 6.5(IMDB), which means, at least for me, unwatchable.
                    Considering that I'm even more critical than Roger Ebert, my rate will always be lower than Metacritic > IMDB > Rottentomatoes.

                    So, just buy HBO Max for their greatest titles(don't touch vampire or zombies ones)(see the clear list by filtering it properly, IMDB/chart/tvmeter, and also skip 'Breaking Bad', just raw sugar for the junkies. --see the 'reptile' under.

                          They invest in some IA instead of taking care of the availability of materials globally.
                          It's sick that in order to have access to all the content you have to mess around with a VPN, it's better to download from a torrent LoL

                            My favorite Netflix feature is their search feature which autocompletes ANY movie you input just to later tell you they don't offer that movie. WHAT. THE. F. ?!

                              Anonymous, 08 May 2025They will give us what we want if we ask them to give it to... moreEven though since the release of netflix we have been charged more for less, which is happening in every industry more aggressively. Trading standards for countries and law makers choose that my friend, not us.

                              Also civilisation can't survive without law, it's why we need people in those positions to fight for our rights which clearly only some European countries seems to be actively trying to stop companies like this, from doing this rubbish (like actually taking apple to court and winning, multiple times over now).

                                    The thing is simple, netflix is the processed sugar for the masses, meaning intelectual diabetes, zero 'nutrients'/'antioxidants' and even Type III, Alzheimer.

                                    *worst content of all brainwashing platforms. (yeah, blackmirror s07e04 has something, but it demonizes LSD, which is not fair because it shows exactly the opposite way of how that marvelous molecule should work :collective, nature, not-alone, surrounded by healthy ideas and people etc.

                                    Still, I hope a superpower(maybe US with Trump) will make the world rain with LSD... :-" -- "Evolution is a painful process.." The 60s were the best. Fascism=Theocracy. Watch the strings and see...
